L'exposition « Art traditionnel africain » de l'Afromusée met en lumière la richesse et la diversité culturelle du continent africain à travers une collection unique d'œuvres traditionnelles. Provenant de plusieurs pays d'Afrique occidentale et centrale, ces pièces illustrent des pratiques artistiques ancestrales transmises de génération en génération et reflètent les valeurs, les croyances et l'histoire de différentes communautés africaines.

Works on display include wooden sculptures, ceremonial masks, dyed fabrics and ritual objects used in religious, social and community practices. Each object tells a story, from the symbolism of masks in ritual dances to the use of carvings to mark life’s milestones or honor ancestors. These handcrafted creations are imbued with profound meanings and are often associated with rituals of healing, protection or passage to adulthood.

Through this exhibition, the Afromusée enables visitors to discover the diversity and depth of West and Central African cultures. These works are not just art objects, but living witnesses to the history and traditions that continue to nurture the identity of many African communities, while enriching our overall understanding of our collective heritage.

Several mediation proposals are available on request: Thematic workshops, guided tours…
